Precautions

When sawing, make sure you don't put your hands and knees all over the color print or poster pattern. Instead, lay a protective cloth over the areas that you are not cutting.  Do not walk on the color print or poster pattern.

When sawing, cut slowly, A fast cut will cause the paper to tear.Try to keep the sawdust off the paper as you saw, so you don't  grind or scrape the print with the sawdust grains.

If sanding is required after cutting the design out of the plywood, use a fine grit sandpaper or file, and sand downwards from the color print to the back. Do not sand with the cut line, or from the back to the front, as this will  cause the edge to fray or tear.
